The transfer season is well underway in the NBA but also in Europe! For Willy Hernangomez, the next step is to return home: towards Spain and FC Barcelona!
Willy Hernangomez was drafted in 2015 but only joined the NBA a year later. Brother Hernangomez therefore arrived ready in the United States, but that did not mean that he was sparkling with the Knicks. Just traded in the middle of his second season with the Knicks, he has not been exploited more with the Hornets. As soon as he arrived in 2020 in New Orleans, we felt that a milestone had been passed, but this step was not high enough to really become an important part of the Pelicans bench. In 37 games last year, he averaged 7.1 points and 4.9 rebounds. For a few weeks already, there had been talk of a return to Spain. Except thatfollowing being trained at Real Madrid, Willy eventually joins the rival club. Head to Barcelona for the next three seasons for the EuroBasket 2022 MVP.

For Barcelona, the summer is very complicated. The club is suffering from huge financial debts and as a result, the budget for the basketball section for the 2023-24 season has been greatly reduced. Immense previously signed salaries cannot be assumed. Nikola Mirotic and manager Saras Jasikevicius have already left the club following turning down a pay cut offer. The names of other important players in the squad such as Slovenian Mike Tobey are also rumored to leave the Catalan capital. To counter these departures, Barça decided to recruit local with the arrival of Willy Hernangomez but also other Spanish internationals. Joel Parra (Badalone) has already been announced, and rumors swirl around a buy-out of the contract of Dario Brizuela (Malaga) but also the supposed arrival of Juancho Hernangomez! The two brothers reunited in EuroLeague to crush everything? Frankly, we say no!
